Everything works fine, but Win2K thinks there are two operating systems (both named Windows 2000) and he has to select one on bootup (one works, the other doesn't). Anyone know how to get rid of this? [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

Here's your command sequence : C: attrib -r -h -s boot.ini edit boot.ini attrib +r +h +s boot.ini When you edit the boot.ini file itself you can see which partition and stuff is selected; the entries in this file are the same order as the boot menu, so just remove the one you DIDN'T use to boot the system :) Peter Shill For Hire [link\|http://www.kuro5hin.org\|There is no K5 Cabal]

Our job is to take as much of the beer flavor out of the water as we can without getting a customer revolt.
